C ASS HISTORY We, the class of 1950, have completed twelve long years of study. The road we have traveled has been unpredictable.

Officers that year were: President, Don Houser: Vice-President, Sam Goins, Secretary-Treas- 1.11-er, Betty Joe Propstg Reporter. Geraldean Hoyle. During our Sophomore year, eight girls were waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet and four were on the basketball team. Class officers were: President, Sam Goins: Vice-President, Don Houserg Secretary-Treasurer, Geraldean Hoyle, Reporters. Mable Richard and Betty Joe Propst. Our Junior year was a very active one. We gave a play entitled, i'Grandad Steps Out. Along with the play, eleven members were initiated into the National Beta Club and held positions on the Trail Blazern stalf, five were on the basketball team, two were on the baseball team, and two were bus drivers. It was also during this year that the cafeteria was opened. Class officers were: President, Sam Goins: Vice-President. Don Houserg Sec- retary-Treasurer, Betty Joe Propstg Reporter, Geraldean Hoyle. July 21, 1949, we began our last year at Union. The Acorn Staff was elected, and oHicers as follows: President, Charles Houserg Vice-President, Bobby Weaverg Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Carswellg Reporter, Don Houser. With the beginning of the fall term, we began work in earnest, most of our efforts being directed toward our annual. Our mascots, chosen from the first grade, are Dorothy Beam and Tommy Rhyne. We have had our ups and downs. The road ahead is still uncertain, but what- ever is in store for us, we are piepared to face it. We shall be ever grateful to our teachers, parents and members of the community, who have made the road brighter, straightcr, and the load lighter. With humbleness and deep regret, we say. Thank you and Goodbye. BETTY J oi-1 PRoPsI, Historian

C ASS DUE FAREWELL The class of 1950 must go away from here, Out in this busy world we're overdue. The way seems clear before us, But something strange does us subdue, We hear a voice calling, Not finished, just begunf, Our days will no longer be spent in dream, Wfe shall not drift at ease along life's stream, We must live with zest and beauty In a world of toil and duty. May all you have taught us, Not be blown away like a gust. Be with us we beg, as we try to succeed. You'll be proud of us, Dear Unionf: You'll be proud of us, indeed. Oh, Union High School, with all your training and your care, Have guided us through four short years of toil and strife. Although for freedom we are yearning, Our heart still burns with love for you, Farewell, Dear Old School and Alma Mater, farewell. BONNIE LUTZ, Class Poe! CLASS SUNG Now here we leave you And we go our many ways, But Alma Mater You we'll always praise. And we also thank you For the friendships we have made Here at Union High School Whe1'e we worked and played. CHGRUS Alma Mater, to you we will be true. Alma Mater, we bid you fond adieu.
